Manitou UK and GT Lifting Solutions have announced a multi-million-pound agreement for the purchase of ten MRT 4080 (40-metre) rotating telehandlers.

Representing the world’s first ten-unit order for this new model in Manitou’s Vision+ range, the deal introduces the manufacturer’s highest-reaching rotating telehandler capacity to its product lineup for the first time.

Joseph Rogers, Managing Director at GT Lifting, commented:

“GT Lifting has led the UK construction industry in bringing innovative ROTO telehandlers to market for over 20 years. We are very proud to have been the first to introduce the 26m, followed by the 30m, 35m, 39m, and now the landmark 40m Manitou MRT 4080.

This latest addition and significant investment in our fleet is a testament to the strength of our longstanding partnership with Manitou”.

The MRT 4080 expands Manitou’s Vision+ range into the 40-metre reach category, setting a new benchmark for Manitou’s heavy load management, reach capability, and site safety.

Under this exclusive arrangement, the ten units will lead a UK rollout of Manitou’s 40m rotating technology across major British construction sites.

Bryonne Skelton, Business Development Key Account Manager for Manitou UK,

added: “Delivering the UK’s first MRT 4080 units to GT Lifting is made even more rewarding by the close partnership we have built over the years. GT Lifting continues to invest heavily in expanding their Manitou MRT fleet. We are incredibly proud to support their ongoing growth and see our latest innovation join their lineup.”
